Admittedly I am a newbie to Linux, PHP, mySQL. I am convert from Windows. I am developing site using PHP and mySQL and miss the Microsoft SQL Server interface. It made designing tables and manipulating the data very easy. Can you provide any recommendations for a mySQL interface similar to MS SQL Server Enterprise Manager?

Also, what are the pros and cons of using such an interface with mySQL? Are there any articles listing the options? How involved is installing such an interface?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in Advance.

Simple...

Standard for web interfaces for MySql.... I think there are other interfaces on www.mysql.com..

Hi!
I agree with The Prohacker on phpMyadmin. It is a real standard for mysql and php.
However if you are not on the web you could try some K based client that would be easy to use
Have a great day :)

phpmyadmin is great. especially for doing database backups. yup!

PHPMyAdmin is just the best GUI for MySQL.. lately it's been MUCH better with all those new features in version 2.

http://www.dbtools.com.br is a cool Windows app which looks a lot like SQL Enterprise Manager. If you configure your MySQL to allow connections from your IP it can be used remotely from your WIndows machine.

Thanks for the suggestions!
